Through the kindness of Mr. M. A. Carleton, of the U. a 
Department of Agriculture, the writer was enabled to compare 
this species with the U. S. Department specimens of Puccinia fuse 
from various parts of the world. This examination convinced 
him that Puccinia cohaesa was not Puccinia fusca ; differing as fol- 
lows: gross characters entirely different ; microscopic characte 
also different, except as to size of the teleutospores ; further, Pe 
cinia fusca has no uredospores nor paraphyses, both of which are 
present with Puccinia cohacsa. 
The water found constantly preceding and associated with Puc- 
cinta cohaesa, on the same plants, an aecidial form closely resem 
bling Aectdium punctatum. As no positive proof of any connec- 
tion between the two was at hand, the writer has not included a? 
aecidial stage in this description, preferring to wait till cultures are 
made to determine this point. This rust like P. cooperiae CO” 
tinued until the leaves of the host were killed by hot wate.
